Abstract

Spain exhibits significant climatic variability across its regions, ranging from the humid oceanic climate in the north to the Mediterranean and stepped climates in the southern and central areas. These climatic differences influence environmental allergen exposure, which may, in turn, affect allergic sensitization patterns in the pediatric population. Variations in temperature, humidity, and airborne allergen distribution, such as pollen, dust mites, animal epithelia, and mold, contribute to regional disparities in allergic responses among children. Understanding how climatic conditions shape allergen recognition patterns across different geographical areas is essential for improving allergy prevention and management strategies. This study aims to shed light on this issue by identifying sensitization patterns in a pediatric population of 236 patients (with 2 age groups analyzed: 6-10 and 11-15 years old) from different climatic regions of Spain. Skin tests with standard aeroallergens were performed, and specific IgE (sIgE) analysis by Allergy Explorer of Macroarray Diagnostic test (ALEX(2)) and Western blot. The results revealed different sensitization trends across patients from the eight cities analyzed (Barcelona, Granada, Lugo, Sagunto, Santiago de Compostela, Valencia, and Zaragoza).
